not a particulary engaging or interesting author, the book's main strength is the tale of illness and recovery. short chapters were constructed such that you wanted to continue - although the final half dozen or so (when it's clear her recovery is complete) felt redundant and long.

she seems to have coloured her memories (particulary of her newish boyfried) a bit too rosy, and her tendency to replay specific events to justify her actions felt very adolescent, but the girl is only in her twenties, and has suffered a brain injury, so i shouldn't be so hard on her.

the most interesting reveal: it cost one million to treat her illness and her insurance at the NY post covered it. i find that surprising and wonder how she managed to NOT get fired mid-illness or have the insurance co. counter claim that the treatment was not proven enough to warrant it's implementation.
